At
such gatherings as this, we are helped to realize more of the very
essence of Theosophy than perhaps we have done hitherto. I feel than an
important part of the work of the Theosophical Society is being
accomplished through its conventions and conferences, which are not
just occasions for talking and listening. That is a purely superficial
and outward interpretation of what actually takes place. We are here in
order to create an atmosphere, to set forces in action, to change
ourselves, to enter with our whole hearts into the truths of the Divine
Wisdom.
